About the name
Nova is Latin — "new" — astronomy's word for a star that suddenly flares thousands of times brighter: not a new star, an old one announcing itself.
Nova has surged into the American top 40 — the celestial wave's brightest recent arrival.
Two syllables of detonation. It pairs well with grounded middles (Nova Jane, Nova Ruth). On our vibe map it is Celestial at explosion-grade with Modern Minimalist mass and Y2K-chrome shine — the star that got loud.
